While the new age movement promotes positive healing and belief to heal the self, there are proven biological and neuroscience models behind thinking positively to overcome illness. In an exceedingly brief nutshell...
The innate (mysterious) intelligence of nature creates you, me, and all life. It turns one cell into a human, and a seed into a plant/flower/tree. In the correct conditions, cells are guided by this intelligence in which to duplicate and repair/maintain.
When one has negative thoughts (for example which lead to stress and anxiety), chemicals are released into the body that are detrimental to cellular performance; the cells do not have the food and energy they need in which to repair themselves properly. These chemicals, over extended periods of time, are actually damaging to the health and structure of the cells. Combine the two and the result is damaged cells, that continue to deteriorate, which are also incapable of self-repair.
Conversely, when one thinks positively, the brain triggers the release of chemicals that are beneficial to the efficiency and operation of the organism's cells. The cells are 'fed' with a superior 'food' and are hence able to repair themselves very quickly and efficiently. Maintaining positive thought is akin to having a well oiled and maintained physical nano-engine.
Of course, there are the underlying benefits of the positive energy/life force that is drawn through your being as time elapses, which also aid in the quality of the physical vehicle. I mention the biology side of things as often those of a spiritual nature are inclined to focus only on the metaphysical. Understanding the healing mechanics of our biological vehicles aids to strengthen broader understanding and belief within the individual. And we all know how powerful belief is in this experience :¬)
Meditation is an aid to calming the mind and producing peace and positivity. One need not limit themselves to self healing during meditation; it is an ongoing process one will naturally induce when polarising on the path of STO and choosing love (uplifting gratitude for all of your many blessings is as an excellent example) in each moment.
